Ubukhulu beSt
Bonke abaNgcwele bakhulu ebukumkanini bamazulu; nangona kunjalo kukho umahluko phakathi kwabo, ngokubhekisele kokulungileyo okusebenzayo ebomini. Yeyiphi eyona ngcwele?
Kwivangeli ye-St. Matthew (XI, 2) sifunda oku: "Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Akukho namnye, mkhulu kunoYohane umbhaptizi, owakha wazalwa phakathi kwabafazi.
Kungabonakala ukuba uYohane oBhaptizi oNgcwele makabe ngoyena Ungcwele; kodwa akunjalo. UYesu wayenenjongo yokukhuphela ngaphandle uMama wakhe kunye no-Putative Tata kulo mlinganiso, njengaxa umntu esithi emntwini: - Ndikuthanda ngaphezu kwakhe nawuphi na umntu! -ukuthetha: ... emva kukamama notata.
USt. Joseph, emva kweNtombi esikelelekileyo, ungoyena mkhulu ebukumkanini bamazulu; cinga nje uthumo awayenalo emhlabeni kunye negunya elingaqhelekanga awayenxibe ngalo.
Xa wayelapha emhlabeni wayenamandla apheleleyo phezu koNyana kaThixo, nkqu nokuyalela. Ukuba uYesu, owayegungqa phambi kwakhe i-Angelic Sers, wayezithobela phantsi kwakhe kuyo yonke into kwaye emzukisa ngokumbiza ngokuthi "Bawo". Intombi enyulu uMariya, uMama wegama elingamzimba, ukuba abe ngumtshakazi wakhe, wamthobela ngokuzithoba.
Nguwuphi na kwabo bangcwele owakhe wafumana isidima? Ngoku uSt. Joseph usezulwini. Ngokufa akuphulukananga nobukhulu bayo, kuba kunaphakade amaqhina obu bomi agqibelele kwaye awonakaliswanga; ke, uyaqhubeka nokuba nendawo yakhe kwiNtsapho eNgcwele eParadesi. Ngokuqinisekileyo indlela itshintshile, kuba eZulwini iSt. UJoseph akasayaleli u-Yesu kunye neNenekazi lethu njengoko wayeyalele kwiNdlu yaseNazarete, kodwa amandla ayafana nqwa nqwa nawayephaya; ukuze yonke into ibe kwiNtliziyo kaYesu noMariya.
